Re^3: which loop is better

in reply to Re^2: which loop is better
in thread which loop is better

Err, I don't think what you say is very clear. For and foreach are synonyms, but either of them can be used to delcare two completely different loop contructs, ie the following two lines are identical to each other

for (expr; expr; expr) block
foreach (expr; expr; expr) block

while the following two are identical to each other, but not to the first two lines above

for (list) block
foreach (list) block

You're right that I wasn't very clear :-) I meant that the lines in my code where synonyms of the code in the post I was replying to. I meant to say that typing `for` or `foreach` has no impact on the kind of loops you can create with them. "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"
